    Patch series "kasan: optimizations and fixes for HW_TAGS", v4.
    
    This patchset makes the HW_TAGS mode more efficient, mostly by reworking
    poisoning approaches and simplifying/inlining some internal helpers.
    
    With this change, the overhead of HW_TAGS annotations excluding setting
    and checking memory tags is ~3%.  The performance impact caused by tags
    will be unknown until we have hardware that supports MTE.
    
    As a side-effect, this patchset speeds up generic KASAN by ~15%.
    
    This patch (of 13):
    
    Currently KASAN saves allocation stacks in both kasan_slab_alloc() and
    kasan_kmalloc() annotations.  This patch changes KASAN to save allocation
    stacks for slab objects from kmalloc caches in kasan_kmalloc() only, and
    stacks for other slab objects in kasan_slab_alloc() only.
    
    This change requires ____kasan_kmalloc() knowing whether the object
    belongs to a kmalloc cache.  This is implemented by adding a flag field to
    the kasan_info structure.  That flag is only set for kmalloc caches via a
    new kasan_cache_create_kmalloc() annotation.
